Wifi and TV unavailable first night Our pool and courtyard needed maintenance badly especially the gate which was unable to be closed. The restaurant menu could do with some extra items added.For 3 nights some of the menu unavailable so not a lot of choices. Menu was very basic.

Our room was very nice and very comfortable. The Manager was very helpful and got us her wifi modem and helped to get the TV to work. We thoroughly enjoyed the big pool area which was kept beautifully. The garden setting is lovely. We also thoroughly enjoyed our walks along the beach. The restaurant setting is lovely.

Wifi was not available due to a technical problem and with it being Christmas-week it took time to get a technician in to fix it. Also, of course, Fiji is still on 3G.

Great chef, food was always well prepared and presentable. Great staff, we were made very welcome and everyone was positive and cheerful. The owner brought his family to stay over Christmas and it was exciting to hear his plans for developing the resort for the future. The view from the dining room was awesome - top dollar - and the pool was a nice size. Snorkelling off the beach was amazing and the beach is nice sand and slopes very gently so able to go a long way without getting into deep water. The gardens are amazing, very well kept with some marvellous planting and being "in the jungle" was great - loved the frogs at night - one came and sat in our garden every evening :) Short walk along the beach took us to the neighbouring resort for lunch one day, but we were not impressed so didn't go again.

Common in Fiji but lots of ants in the room, very very quiet I was alone at dinner most nights, you have to travel quite far out of the resort to do anything, wifi only in reception

Beautiful resort, pool is a good size, rooms are very nice, perfect beachfront location Staff were absolutely lovely, so friendly

Stayed in December 2023

A lot of the facilities were very tired and needed a facelift, which we understand is happening soon. We also weren't prepared for the final few kilometres off-road drive to the resort. Fortunately the road was dry but it could have been tricky if very wet.

A beautiful location and friendly staff. Although the menu was limited the food was very good.

Seems to be understaffed, guests are left to themselves with almost no leisure activities. It's great of you look for peace and tranquility. Food was good but a bit expensive.

Room was spacious and clean, location is very isolated, scenery is beautiful.

Stayed in September 2022

The toilet and shower need some renovation. The staff are aware and have explained that it is planned to make the reno needed and it was delayed due to covid, which is sensible. Other than that, the room is spacious and bed is comfy. A bit far from the airport and denarau. We hired a car so no big dramas. Last couple of kms to the hotel is a bit challenging, literally in the jungle, I personally loved it as it makes you feel close to nature, just need to be aware as it can be quite slippery when it rains.

Amazing location, right on the beach. Beautiful sunsets, great for couples. Staff are super friendly and will do all in their capacity to assist and make your stay special. Food is good and prices are reasonable. Room is very nice and with beautiful gardens everywhere.

Food was not very good, which was common in Fiji, we spent a lot of time travelling to go get food which is not easy as the hotel is quite remote.

Location is very pretty and it's a secluded and quiet area

Stayed in July 2022

Was not as advert. No tv. Staff were not very friendly and getting information or even finding them was hard. Lots and lots of maintenance needed on the buildings. 4 staff doing the gardens every day but nobody fixing buildings etc. Examples: villa pool missing tiles, villa garden needed weeding and cleaning including all furniture. Shower taps coming out of the wall, no TV as advertised. Main area, pictures off walls, rusty nails sticking out of the decking, deck post rope holder log not secured and broken,. Lots and lots of H&S issues that could be easily sorted but it seems that the garden is more inportant. No prices on dinner menu,s....overall needs staff retraining and a big maintance job doing on the buildings. Until this is complete I would downgrade its rating.

Dinners were nice, garden pleasant and beach very nice.

The resort is SUPER quiet, not many staff around during the day to get drinks from the bar. It's really off the beaten track, so not much to do and nowhere is really accessible on foot. Lots of mosquitoes (which I expected due to the jungle location). Room not cleaned daily and there were lots of ants in the room.

Comfortable room, super friendly staff and the best breakfast pancakes I have ever eaten.

Stayed in July 2022

as it’s very remote, phone service is limited and almost no internet. wifi is only available during the day in the dinning area and still very slow.

the staff are amazing and the food is great. the location is very remote, you are best to have a hire car so you can travel around yourself. bring extra water and snacks

The Lovo is far too overpriced relative to comparable places. Stick to the a la carte menu

The staff are very hospitable; the pool in the villa is well maintained

We could not get a cellular connection at the resort on our phone. It appears only Vodafone works there (barely), but not Digicel. There was no Wifi in the room, however the hotel provided us a Vodafone Wifi router whose Internet connection cut in and out. To get to the resort, one has to take a long 4 km dirt road off the main highway -- it can be fun for some, inconvenient for others. If one wants to go the city and back it can add around 40 min to the trip.

The staff at Wellesley Resort were excellent -- friendly, caring and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The room was large and comfortable, and the a/c worked well. The breakfasts and dinners were great -- the chef listened to our request and customized the preparation for us. There is a lovely, scenic beach just outside the resort, great for bathing and snorkeling. The hotel arranged an onsite antigen COVID test for our travel, which was reasonably priced (FJD $45/person) -- the results came back within 3 hours.

Still cleaning up after long closure. Food and drink options limited.

Serenity. Seclusion. Gardens and locality. Snorkelling.

The dirt road to the resort may be off putting to some, but it’s absolutely worth the journey and part of experience.

Exceptional service from the staff. The chef cooked up delicious meals. Gardens well kept as is the lovely pool. Location is perfect for those wanting peace and quiet in a beautiful, tropical setting.

An Isolated heaven in the rich narure with very clean comfortable room, amazing food, gorgeous swimming pool and the ocean veiw. All of stuff were warm and nice and treat us like family. They did everything to make our stay fun and smooth and acutually they made our stay double enjoyable. Couldn't be that wonderful without any one of them and can't thank them enough. No complain at all but only grateful to the wonderful services by them. A villeageis just next to, local experience can be promising too!

Property was extremely beautiful and quiet!

The staff are not particularly friendly or capable and were rarely available. This began at check in when they couldn’t locate our booking info or documents despite the fact we were one of only 2 couples staying there at the time. Our arrival RAT test was also rushed (waiting 1 minute after it hit the test before it was binned, not 15) so not 100% sure the test was accurate, very concerning. They seemed to get irritated if you asked them any questions about activities or experiences outside of the hotel and also appeared very annoyed if you chose to skip meals there in favour of better options elsewhere. The food options offered were extremely limited and very expensive for what you got, mostly soggy sandwiches and at times seemed like the food was reheated. We were also not 100% convinced the water we were given in our room was store bought. The bottles had their seals broken most days, quite dodgy. Since you can’t drink from the tap it’s probably best you bring your own instead. The property itself, whilst located in a beautiful and remote space, is in SERIOUS need of some proper care and maintenance. The pools were dirty (both the public and villa ones), the rooms (especially the bathrooms) are very dated and had technical issues like water pressure and heat. The wooden stairs to access the main pool were completely rotten and roped off, a massive health and safety issue and the sun beds were old and many of them were mouldy. Overall the place looks tired and unloved, the owners need to invest some money into the place as it has the potential to be so much nicer than it’s current condition, in its current state it’s not worth the money we paid. Would highly recommend hiring a car as it is extremely remote and difficult to get around without transport. If you book please don’t take the photos as true liking, the place is far what what it used to be. Which is sad.

The location, the beach and the quietness

We booked two rooms, one for me and my husband and one for the kids. The bathroom in the kids'one was small and a bit old.

Very quite resort, located in a remote, but very beautiful area - if you book a taxi, make sure it is not a small car, since there's a little bit of off road in the mountain before descending to the coast and getting to the resort. The small size of the resort make the place very safe for kids too. The staff is really nice and always very helpful. They accomodated all our requests and helped out in organizing trips and entertainments. There are no other restaurants or grocery stores nearby, so we had all our meals at the bar: food was good and menu varies. Buying snacks during trips and bring them back in your room is definitely a good idea. I asbolutely adored our room's bathroom: large and bright, Pina Colada flavoured toilettries included, and the private shower in the backyard a real treat! The beach is 2 minues walk from the rooms and the view from the swimmingpool is very scenic. We had a really good time there!

Stayed in July 2022

Supplies were very limited. They ran out of several items at the bar - wine, tequila, mixers. Coffee was horrible. Meals were 2 star.

The staff was amazing, the rooms were lovely and the snorkling amazing.
